Nice one Jim! What about Neil Young too! And The Band, part Canadian too! Estevan, Russel Peters yah. I was talking to this guy who lived in Rhodesia (still calls it that aka Zimbabwe) and also lived in South Africa. I was asking him about South Africa and population proportion by races, white, black, colours as they call them there - in particular the changes since so many have left to go elsewhere. So he said there are whites and blacks and estimated their percentages. And I said what about coloured people? He said they are colours also, a mix of white and black people. Then I said what about Asians - aren't they coloured people, that what I thought the South Africans characterized Asians as. He said no, they are non-white. Then I said aren't blacks non-white also? Then he laughed at the thought of the venn diagram and said Japanese were honorary whites. So I laughed my butt off! What a crazy world! Alex, I live on the North Shore. There are a couple of vancouverites on the forum, Exitao for example. Hey Alex, who have you studied with and where are you?
